Celebrating the Leaders Shaping the Future of Workforce Management
At RIVET, we believe workforce planning is the heart of every successful self-performing contractor. That’s why we partner with and celebrate the RIVET Workforce Management Champions — standout leaders who raise the bar for how construction labor is planned, managed and optimized – every year.
From project executives to field leaders, the Champions drive real results: stronger labor plans, better workforce utilization and more profitable projects.
We recently got the Champions together at RIVET HQ in Detroit for our Annual Summit. We spent the day digging into the hard stuff:
- How to build labor plans that survive reforecasting
- How to prepare and pivot when job compression happens
- And how to actually run Workforce Management like a business unit—not just a scramble before every job starts
